RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual 3.6 The i-BUS Connector Please Note • The i-BUS uses RS422 lev els on its RX and TX Pins, although Ethernet jack/plugs mechanically fit, the device is not Ethernet compatible. • As the TxD/RxD cr ossing is done by the pinout of the connectors, simple str aight cabling can be used. • If devices are powered by the RJ45 cabling of th e i-BUS , wir e gauge must be at least A WG24 (0.
i-PORT M 350, i-SAT 300 RTLS, i-PORT M 350 RTLS 3.7 Ethernet Connector The Ethernet interface is an option for an i-PORT M 350 RTLS. Warning Do not connect any device to your network before it has been configured. Before connecting to your network, check that the desired IP address has been set. A not-configured device may have any IP address. A device with the wrong settings may impede the functioning of your network. Ethernet interface with 10 or 100Mbit/s.
RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual 4 Initial Operation 4.1 Checking the Installation After completing the installation the operation must be systematically checked. The installation check can be divided into three sections: • Visual test • Basic operational check • Detailed operational check If the basic check of the operational behavior is to be carried out using a (portable) PC a final check via the intended user control system should also be carried out. 4.2 Configuration 4.2.

RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual Select “Network Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on “Properties”. Check if both checkboxes “Obtain … automatically” are checked. Confirm with “OK”.
i-PORT M 350, i-SAT 300 RTLS, i-PORT M 350 RTLS Discover the i-PORT’s Ethernet Interface • Connect the PC with the i-PORT. • Start the software “Device Discovery Utility”. This software will automatically detect the Ethernet device of the i-PORT. • Select the device listed, then chose “Device Tasks” => “Open Web Interface”. Now the standard web browser on the PC should start, opening the IP address of the Ethernet device.
RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual Configuration of the Internal Communication In the category “Configuration” select “Serial Ports”. Click on “Change Profile”.
i-PORT M 350, i-SAT 300 RTLS, i-PORT M 350 RTLS In this list chose “TCP Sockets” and confirm with “Apply”.

RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual Users Configuration In order to change the password for the user “root” click on the user name and fill in the fields with the old and new password. The new password needs to be typed twice to prevent typos.
i-PORT M 350, i-SAT 300 RTLS, i-PORT M 350 RTLS Network Configuration Important Note As the connection to the Ethernet device will probably be lost, after the network configuration it is recommended to do this as the last step of configuration. In the category “Configuration” chose “Network” and change to the “Advanced Network Settings”. Here you can give the i-PORT a useful name for identification in the network. Confirm with “Apply”.
RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual In the category “Configuration” chose “Network”. Now adjust the network settings as required. Then finish by click on “Apply”. Finally, in the category “Administration” choose “Reboot”. 4.4 Status Display (LEDs) ANT 1: This is the antenna of the 2.45 GHz RTLS part. LED blinks green when a valid packet has been received. It blinks RED when a ranging of type 1 has been successfully done. ANT 2: This is the antenna of the UHF part.
i-PORT M 350, i-SAT 300 RTLS, i-PORT M 350 RTLS 5 Maintenance 5.1 General In principle, the ILR system is maintenance-free. When correctly installed it operates for many years without any problems. 5.2 Precautionary Maintenance Regular checking of all ports and cables belonging to the system is recommended. Unstable connections could lead to damage and malfunctions of the system and therefore should be repaired as soon as possible.
RTLS Hardware and Installation Manual 5.3 5.3.1 Spare Parts Recommended spare parts stock In order to keep the down time of the system during malfunctions as short as possible it is recommended to have certain spare parts in stock. At least one central unit, one antenna and one antenna cable should be available. With larger systems with more than approx. 15 i-PORTs the doubling of the recommended stock quantity should be considered.
